Global
Satellite Communicator
WARNINGS
GOOD JUDGEMENT
This product is an excellent navigation aid and communications
tool, but does not replace the need for careful orienteering and
good judgement. Never rely solely on one device for
navigating.
USE CARE
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the U.S.
Government, which is solely responsible for the accuracy and
maintenance of GPS.
The accuracy of position fixes can be affected by the periodic
adjustments to GPS satellites made by the U.S. Government
and is subject to change in accordance with the Department of
Defense civil GPS user policy and the Federal Radionavigation
Plan.
USE CAUTION
Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry.
When the accuracy warnings appear on the screen, use the
data with extreme caution.
USE PROPER ACCESSORIES
Use only Magellan cables and antennas; the use of non-
Magellan cables and antennas may degrade performance or
damage the receiver, and will void the warranty.
LICENSE AGREEMENT
Magellan grants you, the purchaser, the right to use the
software supplied in and with the GSC 100 Global Satellite
Communicator (the “SOFTWARE”) in the normal operation of
the equipment. You may make copies only for your own
personal use and for use within your organization.
The SOFTWARE is the property of MAGELLAN and/or its
suppliers and is protected by United States copyright laws and
international treaty provisions; therefore, you must treat this
SOFTWARE like any other copyright material.
You may not use, copy, modify, reverse engineer or transfer
this SOFTWARE except as expressly provided in this license.
All rights not expressly granted are reserved by MAGELLAN
and/or its suppliers.
RADIATION WARNING
Although no single value of “safe
radiation level” has been agreed upon
by all countries, the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI/LEEE C95.1
- 1992) recommends that people
should not be exposed to radiation
stronger than 1 milliwatt per square
centimeter at the frequencies used in
the Magellan GSC 100. Due to the
GSC 100 transmission times being
very brief, the amounts are well within
acceptable limits as set forth by the
American National Standards Institute.
LIGHTNING WARNING
Due to the extension capability of the ORBCOMM telescopic
antenna located on the GSC 100, it is strongly advised that
operations of the GSC 100 cease when thunderstorm or
electrical storm conditions are present.
OBTAINING LICENSING FOR ORBCOMM
COMMUNICATORS
Use of the ORBCOMM System outside the United States has
only been authorized by a limited number of foreign
Governmental Authorities. Use of the ORBCOMM System
outside the United States is permissible only when all
necessary permits, approvals and authorizations have been
received from the applicable foreign Governmental Authorities.
RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION
In addition, use of the GSC 100 outside the United States is
only permissible if it has been “type approved” for use in that
country or territory. Both the ORBCOMM System and the GSC
100 may need to be approved prior to use in a foreign country
or territory. For information on those countries or territories in
which use of the ORBCOMM System and the GSC 100 is
authorized, please contact ORBCOMM or your local service
provider.
